Media Has Shorts In A Bind Over Pope Francis

Last week the world media got all giggly because they thought Pope Francis had come over to their side on abortion and gay marriage. What fools. What the Pope said was that Catholics needed to focus on issues aside from abortion and gays.
I get a feeling that this guy is the real deal who loves being around real people and follows the precepts of the Church. Did you happen to catch the story of a thirty-five woman from Florence, Italy who was pregnant and unmarried? She was dating a guy, a Lothario, who was already married and he up and left her. This distraught lady wrote a letter and addressed it as such:
Pope
The Vatican
Rome
Guess what? It found it's way into the hands of Pope Francis. The content said that she was Catholic but was considering an abortion. She pleaded for the Pope to pray for her.
Not only were prayers offered but Francis personally called her on the phone and said if she kept the baby he would act as its godfather for life if she would have him.
I like this guy a lot. The media can gather up their literary guns and ammo again because the Pope isn't giving in. Oh, I've included an article that might interest our media friends. Priests who support gay marriage are now subjected to excommunication. If you aren't a Catholic and don't understand the word it means, "you're outta here, Buster ".
Enjoy the article.

Despite all due temptation, he remains a Catholic.

From all of last week's headlines saying that the Pope wants to forget this nonsense about abortion and gays, you'd imagine that Germaine Greer had been elected to run the Catholic Church. Actually what the Pope was saying was that he wants the Church to talk more about what it's for than what it's against. But that doesn't mean it won't still be against those things that contradict its teachings and traditions.
Just ask Greg Reynolds of Melbourne – a priest who appears to have been both defrocked and excommunicated because of his radical views on women clergy and gay marriage. From Australia's The Age:

The excommunication document – written in Latin and giving no reason – was dated May 31, meaning it comes under the authority of Pope Francis who made headlines on Thursday calling for a less rule-obsessed church.
